Ingredients:
  • 1 gallon whole milk (I purchased a gallon for $1.38 in a plastic bag)
  • 3 T. yogurt (I purchased Yoplait single serving French Vanilla)
  • 2 T. vanilla
  • 1 1/2 c. powdered sugar
Directions:
  1. Boil milk on high (watch it so it doesn't boil over). Take off heat and mix in vanilla and sugar...leave it alone until it's room temperature (90 minutes).
  2. Whisk 1 cup mix with 3 T. yogurt starter (Yoplait single serve French Vanilla); then mix with remaining boiled milk.  Fill four + glass quart sized jars (sterilized) and put on (sterilized) lids. Place into a cooler. Dump 16 cups (1 gallon) warm water into a cooler.  Close the lid and walk away for 4-6 hours.  Finished product will be thicker after refrigerating.
  3. Refrigerate for up to 6 weeks.
